The Open Group Test Suite License

Preamble

The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
semblance of artistic control over the development of the package, while
giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute the Package
in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable
modifications.

Testing is essential for proper development and maintenance of
standards-based products.

For buyers: adequate conformance testing leads to reduced integration costs
and protection of investments in applications, software and people.

For software developers: conformance testing of platforms and middleware
greatly reduces the cost of developing and maintaining multi-platform
application software.

For suppliers: In-depth testing increases customer satisfaction and keeps
development and support costs in check. API conformance is highly
measurable and suppliers who claim it must be able to substantiate that
claim.

As such, since these are benchmark measures of conformance, we feel the
integrity of test tools is of importance. In order to preserve the
integrity of the existing conformance modes of this test package and to
permit recipients of modified versions of this package to run the original
test modes, this license requires that the original test modes be
preserved.

If you find a bug in one of the standards mode test cases, please let us
know so we can feed this back into the original, and also raise any
specification issues with the appropriate bodies (for example the POSIX
committees).

Definitions:

"Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright
Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through textual
modification.

"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified, or
has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright Holder.

"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights for
the package.

"You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this
Package.

"Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of media
cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will
not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the
computing community at large as a market that must bear the fee.)

"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, though
there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that
recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they
received it.

1.  You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.

2.  You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package
modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.

3.  You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and
when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least the
following:
rename any non-standard executables and testcases so the names do not
conflict with standard executables and testcases, which must also be
provided, and provide a separate manual page for each non-standard
executable and testcase that clearly documents how it differs from the
Standard Version.

4.  You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
executable form, provided that you do at least the following:
accompany any non-standard executables and testcases with their
corresponding Standard Version executables and testcases, giving the
non-standard executables and testcases non-standard names, and clearly
documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together with
instructions on where to get the Standard Version.

5.  You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You
may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute
this Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part
of a larger (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you
do not advertise this Package as a product of your own.

6.  The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under
the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated them, and
may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package.
7.Subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not be
considered part of this Package.

8.  The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
products derived from this software without specific prior written
permission.

9.  THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
